I am noticing that a couple of CUDA tasks are restarting in the Manager when starting up.

Meaning it gets to maybe 1 %, then jump back to either the beginning, or possibly something like 0.5 %.

What is the reason for this happening?

The way howlatest BOINC manager deal with completion %.
GPU task has ~10-20 s of initialization period when it doesn't report completion % back to BOINC. Old BOINC managers showed 0%, but new ones start to make guesses... and drop to zero when app reports back real progress after that init phase finishes.

Sorry to say, but I did not catch your answer here, Raistmer.
